Grown Rogue International Inc. 

Notes to the consolidated financial statements 

For the years ended October 31, 2020 and 2019 

Expressed in United States Dollars, unless otherwise indicated 

 

 

 

1.Corporate Information and Going Concern

 

These consolidated financial statements (the “Financial Statements”) for the years ended October 31, 2020 and 2019, include the accounts of Grown Rogue International, Inc (together with its subsidiaries, “GRIN” or the “Company”) and its subsidiaries. The registered office of GRIN is located at 340 Richmond Street West, Toronto, Ontario, M5V 1X2.

 

GRIN’s subsidiaries and ownership thereof are summarized in the table below.

 

Company Ownership
Grown Rogue Unlimited, LLC 100% by GRIN
Grown Rogue Gardens, LLC 100% by Grown Rogue Unlimited, LLC
Grown Rogue Distribution, LLC 100% by Grown Rogue Unlimited, LLC
GRU Properties, LLC 100% by Grown Rogue Unlimited, LLC
GRIP, LLC 100% by Grown Rogue Unlimited, LLC
GR Michigan, LLC 87% by Grown Rogue Unlimited, LLC
Idalia, LLC 60% by Grown Rogue Unlimited, LLC

 

GRIN is primarily engaged in the business of growing and selling cannabis products. The primary cannabis product produced and sold is cannabis flower.

 

These Financial Statements are prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of the business.

 

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon, but not limited to, its ability to raise financing necessary to discharge its liabilities as they become due and generate positive cash flows from operations. As at the end of the year ended October 31, 2020, the Company incurred a net loss of $2,356,488 and as of that date, the Company's accumulated deficit was $19,394,044. As at October 31, 2020, the Company had limited working capital of $35,671. These aforementioned conditions have resulted in material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and to meet its obligations will be dependent upon successful sales of product and generating positive cash flows from operations as well as obtaining suitable financing. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. If the going concern assumption is not used, then the adjustments required to report the Company’s assets and liabilities at liquidation values could be material to these consolidated financial statements.

 

2.Reverse Takeover

 

The Company entered into a definitive transaction agreement (the "Definitive Agreement") dated October 31, 2018 with Grown Rogue Unlimited LLC (“GR Unlimited”) and Grown Rogue Canada Inc. ("Grown Rogue Canada") and Novicius Acquisition Corp. ("Novicius Subco") which resulted, through a series of transactions, in the acquisition of all of the equity interests of GR Unlimited and Grown Rogue Canada by the Company (the "Transaction"), such that, immediately following completion of the Transaction, approximately 86% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company were owned by the former unitholders of GR Unlimited. Prior to close of the Transaction the Company completed a consolidation of its common shares on the basis of 1.4 pre-consolidated common shares for 1 post-consolidated common share. Upon close of the Transaction, the Company issued, in aggregate, 60,746,202 common shares to the GR Unlimited unitholders for all of the outstanding units of GR Unlimited, 100,000 common shares to a director of Grown Rogue Canada and 839,790 common shares to former debtholders of the Company. Holders of warrants and convertible debentures of GR Unlimited and Grown Rogue Canada exchanged such securities for warrants and convertible debentures, with substantially the same terms, of the Company on a one for one basis.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements 

For the years ended October 31, 2020 and 2019

Expressed in United States Dollars, unless otherwise indicated

 

 

 

The Transaction constituted a reverse takeover of the Company by the shareholders of GR Unlimited but did not meet the definition of a business combination under IFRS 3. As such, the Transaction is accounted for under IFRS 2, where the difference between the consideration given to acquire the Company and the net asset value of the Company is recorded as a transaction expense. Since GR Unlimited is deemed to be the accounting acquirer for accounting purposes, these financial statements present the historical financial information of GR Unlimited up to the date of the Transaction.

 

The allocation of the consideration transferred is as follows:

 

3,773,689 shares at a price of CAD$0.315 per share  $900,403 
Net assets (liabilities) of the Company acquired   (604,107)
Transaction costs  $1,504,510 

  

The acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred by the existing equity holders of GR Unlimited is based on the number of equity interests GR Unlimited would have had to issue to give the owners of the Company the same percentage equity interest in the combined entity that results from the transaction described above. The fair value of the number of equity interests calculated was based on the private placement transactions entered into by GR Unlimited.

 

Upon completion of the Transaction, the former shareholder of Grown Rogue Canada controlled less than 1% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company (not including holders of subscription receipts of Grown Rogue Canada). For accounting purposes, the Company has been identified as the acquirer and Grown Rogue Canada the acquired company. Since Grown Rogue Canada's operations do not constitute a business, this transaction has been accounted for as a share-based payment. As such, Grown Rogue Canada’s balances are accounted for at fair value, with the balance of the purchase price in excess of the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities of Grown Rogue Canada accounted for as transaction costs. Grown Rogue Canada's historical share capital, deficit and contributed surplus have been eliminated.

 

The allocation of the consideration transferred is as follows:

 

100,000 common shares at a price of CAD$0.315 per share  $23,860 
Fair value of warrants of the Company issued (Note 17.10)   893,646 
Total consideration transferred   917,506 
Net assets of Grown Rogue Canada acquired   61,447 
Transaction costs  $856,059

3.Basis of Presentation

 

Statement of Compliance

 

The Company's consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

 

These consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issuance by the Company's Board of Directors on March 1, 2021.

 

Basis of Measurement

 

These Financial Statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments and biological assets, which are measured at fair value as described herein.

 

Functional and Presentation Currency

 

The Company's functional currency is the Canadian dollar and the functional currency of its Subsidiaries is the United States (“U.S.”) dollar. These audited consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars.

 

Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency using exchange rates in effect at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency using exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period. All exchange gains and losses are included in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss.

 

For the purpose of presenting consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Company are expressed in U.S. Dollars using exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuated significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognized in other comprehensive loss and reported as currency translation reserve in shareholders’ equity.

 

Foreign exchange gains or losses arising from a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation, the settlement of which is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future and which, in substance, is considered to form part of the net investment in the foreign operation, are recognized in other comprehensive loss.

Basis of Consolidation

 

The Subsidiaries are controlled by the Company, as the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the Subsidiaries and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the Subsidiaries by way of its ownership of all of the issued and outstanding common shares. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in these audited consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date control ceases. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

Estimation Uncertainty due to COVID-19

 

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared a global outbreak of COVID-19 (coronavirus) to be a pandemic, which has had a significant impact on businesses through the restrictions put in place by the federal, state, provincial and municipal governments regarding travel, business operations and isolation/quarantine orders in Canada and the United States. Government measures imposed to limit the spread of COVID-19 did not have a material impact on the Company's operations during the period ended October 31, 2020, and the Company has not observed any material impairments, or significant changes in the fair value of its assets as a result of COVID-19.

 

At this time, it is unknown the extent of the impact the COVID-19 outbreak may have on the Company as this will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and that cannot be predicted with confidence. These uncertainties arise from the inability to predict the duration of the outbreak, including the duration of travel restrictions, business closures or disruptions, and quarantine/isolation measures that are currently, or may be put in place by Canada, the United States and other countries to fight the virus. While the extent of the impact is unknown, it remains possible that this outbreak may cause reduced customer demand, supply chain disruptions, staff shortages, and increased government regulations, all of which may negatively impact the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. The Company will continue to evaluate the situation with respect to the COVID-19 pandemic as it develops and will implement any such changes to its business as may deemed appropriate to mitigate any potential impacts to its business.

4.Significant Accounting Policies and Significant Judgements

 

4.1Revenue

 

Revenue is recognized when performance obligations under the terms of a contract with a customer are satisfied, which is upon the transfer of control of the contracted goods or provision of contracted services. Control of goods is transferred when title and physical possession of the contracted goods have been transferred to the customer, which is determined by the shipping terms and certain additional considerations. The Company does not have performance obligations subsequent to the transfer of title and physical possession of the contracted goods. Revenues from sales of goods are recognized when the transfer of ownership to the customer has occurred and the customer has accepted the product. Revenues from services are recognized when services have been provided, the income is determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company’s contract terms do not include a provision for significant post-service delivery obligations.

 

4.2Inventory

 

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The capitalized cost for produced inventory includes the direct and indirect costs initially capitalized to biological assets before the transfer to inventory. The capitalized cost also includes subsequent costs such as materials, labor, depreciation & amortization expense on equipment involved in packaging, labelling and inspection. The total cost of inventory also includes the fair value adjustment which represents the fair value of the biological asset at the time of harvest and which is transferred from biological asset costs to inventory upon harvest. All direct and indirect costs related to inventory are capitalized as they are incurred; these costs are recorded ‘Cost of finished cannabis inventory sold’ on the statements of loss and comprehensive loss at the time cannabis is sold. The realized fair value amounts included in inventory sold are recorded as a separate line on the statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

 

4.3Cost of finished cannabis inventory sold

 

Cost of finished cannabis inventory sold includes the value of inventory sold (policy described in Note 4.2), excluding the fair value adjustment carried from biological assets into inventory. Cost of finished cannabis inventory sold also includes the value of inventory write downs.

4.4Biological assets

 

Biological assets are measured at fair value. The Company’s biological assets consist of cannabis plants. The Company capitalizes all the direct and indirect costs as incurred related to the biological transformation of the biological assets between the point of initial recognition and the point of harvest, including direct costs, indirect costs, allocated fixed and variable overheads, and depreciation & amortization of equipment used to grow plants through the harvest of the plants. Before planting, the capitalized costs approximate fair value. After planting, fair value is estimated at the fair value of the market sales price of the finished product less costs to complete. Subsequent to harvest, the recognized biological asset amount becomes the cost basis of finished goods inventory. Unrealized gains or losses arising from changes in fair value less costs to sell during the period are included in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss as ‘Unrealized fair value gain on growth of biological assets’. After sale, the amount of ‘Unrealized fair value gain on growth of biological assets’ sold is recognized as ‘Realized fair value amounts in inventory sold’.

 

4.5Loss per share

 

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in the period. For all periods presented, the loss attributable to common shareholders equals the reported loss attributable to owners of the Company. Diluted loss per share is calculated by the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the calculation of diluted loss per share assumes that the proceeds to be received on the exercise of dilutive share options and warrants are used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the period.

 

4.6Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities

 

Liabilities are recognized for amounts to be paid in the future for goods or services received, whether billed by the supplier or not. Provisions are recognized when the Company has an obligation (legal or constructive) arising from a past event, and the costs to settle this obligation are both probable and able to be reliably measured.

 

4.7Related Party Transactions

 

Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are members of key management, subject to common control, or can exert significant influence over the company. Related parties may be individuals or corporate entities. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.

4.8Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Costs include borrowing costs for assets that require a substantial period of time to become ready for use.

 

Amortization is recognized so as to recognize the cost of assets less their residual values over their useful lives, using the straight-line method. Amortization begins when an asset is available for use, meaning that it is in the location and condition necessary for it to be used in the manner intended by management. The estimated useful lives, residual values and method of amortization are reviewed at each period end, with the effect of any changes in estimated useful lives and residual values accounted for on a prospective basis.

 

As at October 31, 2020, the Company was in the process of completing construction of its warehouse facility in order to expand its cultivation and wholesale activities. The Company has capitalized the costs incurred to date on the construction in process asset, as the assets were not available for use as intended by management as at October 31, 2020, amortization expense was not recorded.

 

Amortization is calculated applying the following useful lives:
Furniture and fixtures 7-10 years on a straight-line basis
Computer and office equipment 3-5 years on a straight-line basis
Production equipment and other 5-10 years on a straight-line basis
Leasehold improvements 15-40 months on a straight-line basis

  

The carrying values of property and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If any such indication exists, and where the carrying values exceed the estimated recoverable amount, the assets are written down to their recoverable amount, being the higher of their fair value less costs of disposal and their value in use. Fair value is the price at which the asset could be bought or sold in an orderly transaction between market participants. In assessing value in use, the estimated cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre tax discount rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

 

4.9Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. The useful life of intangible assets is assessed as either finite or indefinite. Following the initial recognition, intangible assets with finite useful lives are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. If impairment indicators are present, these assets are subject to an impairment review. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the intangible assets of two to three years.

4.10Impairment of Long-lived Assets

 

For all long-lived assets, except for intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use, the Company reviews its carrying amount at the end of each reporting period to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. Where such impairment exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss.

 

An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pretax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss.

 

Impairment losses may be reversed in a subsequent period where the impairment no longer exists or has decreased. The carrying amount after a reversal must not exceed the carrying amount (net of depreciation) that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized. A reversal of impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.

 

4.11Deferred transaction costs

 

Deferred transaction costs represent professional fees incurred with respect to a contemplated transaction that is to be completed in a future period. The transaction costs will be recognized in profit and loss in the period in which the transaction is completed.

 

4.12Unit/Share Based Compensation

 

Unit/Share Based Payment Transactions

 

Transactions with non-employees that are settled in equity instruments of the Company are measured at the fair value of the goods or services rendered. In situations where the fair value of the goods or services received by the entity as consideration cannot be reliably measured, transactions are measured at fair value of the equity instruments granted. The fair value of the share-based payments is recognized together with a corresponding increase in equity over a period that services are provided, or goods are received.

 

Equity Settled Transactions

 

The costs of equity settled transactions with employees are measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date on which they are granted, using the Black Scholes option pricing model.

The costs of equity settled transactions are recognized, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (“the vesting date”). The cumulative cost is recognized for equity settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the Company’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The profit or loss charge or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognized as at the beginning and end of that period and the corresponding amount is represented in contributed surplus. No expense is recognized for awards that do not ultimately vest.

 

Unit/ Share Issuance Costs

 

Costs incurred in connection with the issuance of equity are netted against the proceeds received net of tax. Costs related to the issuance of equity and incurred prior to issuance are recorded as deferred equity issuance costs and subsequently netted against proceeds when they are received.

 

4.13Member's Capital

 

Member's capital consists of common units, which are classified as equity on the statements of financial position. Incremental costs attributable directly to the issuance of member's capital are recognized as deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.

 

4.14Income Taxes

 

Tax expense includes current and deferred tax. This expense is recognized in profit or loss, except for income tax related to the components of other comprehensive income or equity, in which case the tax expense is recognized in other comprehensive income or equity respectively.

 

Current tax assets and liabilities are obligations or claims for the current and prior periods to be recovered from (or paid to) taxation authorities that are still outstanding at the end of the reporting period. Current tax is computed on the basis of tax profit which differs from net profit. Income taxes are calculated using tax rates and laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period.

 

Deferred tax is recognized based on temporary differences between the carrying amount and the tax basis of the assets and liabilities. Any change in the net amount of deferred tax assets and liabilities is included in profit or loss. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on enacted or substantively enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to apply to taxable profit for the periods in which the assets and liabilities will be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are recognized when it is likely they will be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.

 

The Company recognizes a deferred tax asset or liability for all deductible temporary differences arising from equity securities of subsidiaries, unless it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future and the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal.

4.15Financial Instruments

 

4.15.1Financial assets

 

Initial Recognition

 

The Company initially recognizes financial assets at fair value on the date that the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred.

 

Classification and measurement

 

Under IFRS 9, financial assets are initially measured at fair value. In the case of a financial asset not categorized as fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), transaction costs are included. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVTPL are expensed in net income (loss).

 

Subsequent classification and measurement of financial assets depends on the Company’s business objective for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset:

 

-Amortized cost – Financial assets held for collection of contractual cash flows that meet the SPPI test are measured at amortized cost. Interest income is recognized as Other income (expense) in the consolidated financial statements, and gains/losses are recognized in net income (loss) when the asset is derecognized or impaired.

 

-Fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”) – Financial assets held to achieve a particular business objective other than short term trading are designated at FVOCI. IFRS 9 also provides the ability to make an irrevocable election at initial recognition of a financial asset, on an instrument by instrument basis, to designate an equity investment that would otherwise be classified as FVTPL and that is neither held for trading nor contingent consideration arising from a business combination to be classified as FVOCI. There is no recycling of gains or losses through net income (loss). Upon derecognition of the asset, accumulated gains or losses are transferred from Other comprehensive income (“OCI”) directly to Deficit.

 

-FVTPL – Financial assets that do not meet the criteria for amortized cost or FVOCI are measured at FVTPL.

4.15.2Financial liabilities

 

The Company initially recognizes financial liabilities at fair value on the date at which the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire. The subsequent measurement of financial liabilities is determined based on their classification as follows:

 

-FVTPL – Derivative financial instruments entered into by the Company that do not meet hedge accounting criteria are classified as FVTPL. Gains or losses on these types of financial liabilities are recognized in net income (loss).

 

-Amortized cost – All other financial liabilities are classified as amortized cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognized in net income (loss) when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the amortization process.

 

The following table summarizes the original measurement categories for each class of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities:

 

Asset/Liability Classification
Accounts receivable Amortized cost
Cash Amortized cost
Marketable securities FVTPL
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities Amortized cost
   
Long term debt Amortized cost
Interest payable Amortized cost
Convertible debentures Amortized cost
Derivative liabilities FVTPL

 

Impairment

 

IFRS 9 introduces a three-stage expected credit loss (“ECL”) model for determining impairment of financial assets. The expected credit loss model does not require the occurrence of a triggering event before an entity recognizes credit losses. IFRS 9 requires an entity to recognize expected credit losses upon initial recognition of a financial asset and to update the quantum of expected credit losses at the end of each reporting period to reflect changes to credit risk of the financial asset. The adoption of the ECL model did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets that are measured at amortized cost. At each reporting date, the loss allowance for the financial asset is measured at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition. If at the reporting date, the financial asset has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the loss allowance is measured for the financial asset at an amount equal to twelve month expected credit losses. For trade receivables the Company applies the simplified approach to providing for expected credit losses, which allows the use of a lifetime expected loss provision. Impairment losses on financial assets carried at amortized cost are reversed in subsequent periods if the amount of the loss decreases and the decrease can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized.

 

4.16IFRS 16 - Leases ("IFRS 16")

 

On November 1, 2019, the Company adopted IFRS 16, which replaced IAS 17 – Leases and related interpretations, using the modified retrospective method which does not require restatement of prior period financial information. Accordingly, comparative information in the Company’s financial statements is not restated. IFRS 16 introduces a single lessee accounting model and requires a lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset, and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments.

 

On transition to IFRS 16, the Company elected to use the following practical expedient, as permitted under this standard:

 

-Grandfather the assessment of which transactions are leases and apply IFRS 16 only to contracts that were previously identified as leases under IAS 17; and

 

-Apply a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics.

 

On adoption of IFRS 16, the Company has elected to record right-of-use assets based on the corresponding lease liability. Lease liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments outstanding from commitments disclosed as at October 31, 2019, excluding short-term leases, leases of low-value assets, and variable lease payments, and discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate as of November 1, 2019. A reconciliation of the Company’s operating lease commitments at October 31, 2019, to the Company’s lease obligations as at the date of transition of November 2, 2019 is set out below:

 

Operating lease commitments at October 31, 2019  $322,100 
Discounted using incremental borrowing rate   (45,669)
Lease liabilities for purchased assets   142,205 
Lease obligations - November 1, 2019  $418,636

The following table summarizes the impacts of adopting IFRS 16 on the consolidated financial statements:

 

   Balance -       Restated balance, 
   October 31, 2019   Adoption of IFRS 16   November 1, 2020 
Right-of-use assets  $   $276,431   $276,431 
Property & equipment  $232,059   $   $232,059 
Current portion of lease liability  $129,876   $225,862   $355,738 
Lease liability  $12,329   $50,569   $62,898 

 

Update to significant accounting policies

 

The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured based on the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made on or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred, less any lease incentive received. The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the least term using the straight-line method. The lease term includes periods covered by an option to extend if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option. The right-of-us asset may be adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability and impairment losses, if any.

 

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. The Company uses a single discount rate for a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics. The lease liability is measure at the amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a a change in index or rate, a change in the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if there is a change in the Company’s assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension, or termination option.

 

Leases that have term of less than twelve months or leases with an underlying asset of low value are recognized as expenses in profit or loss.

 

Significant judgments and estimates

 

In determining the lease term, the Company considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option. The assessment is reviewed if a significant event of a significant change in circumstance occurs which affects this assessment.

 

To determine the carrying amount of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, the Company must estimate the incremental borrowing rate for each leased asset if the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined. Management determines the incremental borrowing rate for each leased asset by taking into account the Company’s credit standing, the guarantee, the term and the value of the underlying leased asset, as well as the economic environment in which the leased asset is operated. Incremental borrowing rates can be changed due to macroeconomic changes in the environment.

5.Biological Assets

 

Biological assets consist of cannabis plants. The reconciliation of changes in the carrying amounts of biological assets as at October 31, 2020 and October 31, 2019 are as follows:

 

Balance  October 31, 2018  $149,617 
Add: purchased cannabis plants   308,324 
Change in fair value less costs to sell due to biological transformation   486,354 
Allocation of operational overhead   438,859 
Transferred to inventory upon harvest   (1,226,565)
Balance  October 31, 2019  $156,589 
Add: purchased cannabis plants   724,878 
Change in fair value less costs to sell due to biological transformation   1,515,492 
Allocation of operational overhead   1,130,712 
Transferred to inventory upon harvest   (3,276,981)
Balance  October 31, 2020  $250,690 

 

The Company measures its biological assets at their fair value less costs to sell. This is determined using a model which estimates the expected harvest yield in grams for plants currently being cultivated, and then adjusts that amount for the expected selling price per gram and also for any additional costs to be incurred, such as post-harvest costs.

 

The following significant unobservable inputs, all of which are classified as level 3 on the fair value hierarchy, were used by management as part of this model:

 

-Expected costs required to grow the cannabis up to the point of harvest

-Estimated selling price per pound

-Expected yield from the cannabis plants

-Estimated stage of growth – The Company applied a weighted average number of days out of the 60-day growing cycle that biological assets have reached as of the measurement date based on historical evidence. The Company assigns fair value basis according to the stage of growth and estimated costs to complete cultivation.

 

           Impact of 20% change 
   October 31, 2020   October 31, 2019   October 31, 2020   October 31, 2019 
Estimated selling price per pound  $1,123   $840   $57,879   $37,747 
Estimated stage of growth   71%   60%  $46,209   $30,970 
Estimated flower yield per harvest (pound)   216    263   $46,209   $30,970

12.4Debt issuance by GR Michigan, LLC

 

On March 20, 2020: Principal of $600,000 was received under a secured debt investment of $600,000 (the “Michigan Debt”). The Michigan Debt carries a two-year term, with monthly payments of principal commencing June 15, 2020, and with payments calculated at 1% of cash sales receipts of GH (Note 8). Once the principal is repaid, each investor will receive a monthly royalty of 1% per $100,000 invested of cash receipts for sales by GH (see Note 8) (the “Royalty”). The Royalty commences on the date that repayments equal to principal have been made for a period of two years. The Royalty maximum is two times the amount of principal invested and the Royalty minimum is equal to the principal loaned; the Company expects to pay the Royalty maximum by July 2023. The Company has the right but not the obligation, to purchase the Royalty from any lender by paying an amount equal to the original principal invested by such lender. The debt is reported at the carrying value of the probability-weighted estimated future cash flows of all payments under the Michigan Debt agreement at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest accreted during the year ended October 31, 2020 was $260,940 calculated using an effective interest rate of 73%. During the year ended October 31, 2020, $75,126 was repaid against this debt.

 

Principal amounts of the Michigan Debt of $50,000 and $100,000 (a total of $150,000), were loaned by officers of the Company. Principal of $150,000, was loaned by a director of the Company.

oCancellation of 6,818,182 warrants issued pursuant to the convertible debenture agreements outstanding prior to the modification on July 10, 2020;

oIssuance of 6,818,182 new warrants with as exercise price of CAD$0.16 and an expiration date of November 1, 2021 (Note 17.3);

oThe fair value of the newly issued warrants was recognized as an expense of debt restructuring on the statement of loss and comprehensive loss for the year ended October 31, 2020;

oIssuance of 1,590,909 warrants as part of the consideration to the creditors for extending the maturity of the debt (Note 17.3). The fair value of these warrants was recognized as an expense of debt restructuring on the statement of loss and comprehensive loss for the year ended October 31, 2020.

 

As described above, the conversion price of the debenture is subject to change based upon whether a lower-than-CAD$0.125 private placement of equity is completed. This conversion feature was determined to be a derivative liability in accordance with IFRS 9. The value of the derivative liability as at October 31, 2020 was estimated to be $787,264, using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions:

 

o Expected dividend yield Nil
o Risk-free interest rate 0.24%
o Expected life 1.0 years
o Expected volatility 90%

 

The derivative liability will be remeasured at fair value through profit and loss at each reporting period using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The fair value as at October 31, 2020, was $583,390 (2019 - $249,320), and the unrealized gain for the year ended October 31, 2020 as a result of remeasurement was $221,820 (2019 – see Note 14.2).

 

The fair value of the deemed reissuance was allocated as follows:

 

   CAD   USD 
Convertible debentures, principal  $2,280,671   $1,676,977 
Conversion option   1,070,670    787,264 
   $3,351,341   $2,464,241 

 

The discounted value of the loan after the modifications of terms was more than 10% lower than the carrying value of the loan and was therefore deemed an extinguishment and reissuance under IFRS 9. The costs of completing the modification were expensed.

14.2Convertible debentures issued during the year ended October 31, 2019

 

During the year ended October 31, 2019, the Company issued secured convertible debentures with aggregate principal of CAD$1,500,000 ($1,105,126). The convertible debentures bear interest at 2% quarterly payable on the last day of March, June, September, and December. The convertible debentures were scheduled to mature on August 10, 2020; the maturity date was extended to November 1, 2021 by an agreement dated July 10, 2020 (Note 14.1). The debentures were secured by a general security agreement granting a security interest in the Company’s property and assets. The debentures could be converted by the holder into common shares of the Company at a conversion price of CAD$0.44 per share. If at any time while the debentures were outstanding, the Company issued securities at a price per security lower than CAD$0.44 per share, the conversion price for any unconverted portion of the convertible debentures would be reduced to such lower price per security. The adjustment to the conversion price was considered a derivative, as it changes in relation to the share price of the Company and does not meet the fixed for fixed criteria. In connection with the issuance of the convertible debentures, the Company paid issuance costs of $47,975. The Company also issued 3,409,091 warrants to the convertible debenture holders, as described in Note 17.9. Of the total debt issuance costs of $47,975, $10,165 was allocated to the derivative liability and included as expenses in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss.

 

GR Unlimited allocated the proceeds from the issuance of the convertible debentures as follows:

 

Convertible debentures, principal  $872,202 
Conversion option   232,925 
   $1,105,127 

 

The fair value of the derivative liability was calculated by way of a Monte Carlo simulation which utilized Geometric Brownian Motion to simulate share prices over the term of the convertible debenture. Estimates included in the Monte Carlo simulation included a market interest rate of 20% and share price volatility of 126.9%. The estimated fair value of the derivative liability upon initial recognition was estimated to be CAD$316,151 ($232,925).

As at October 31, 2019, the Company estimated the fair value of the derivative liability using the same methodologies as described above and an estimated market interest rate of 20% and a share price volatility of 105.4%. As at October 31, 2019, the estimated fair value of the derivative liability was CAD$164,053 ($124,660), and the change in the fair value since initial recognition of $121,811 has been included as income in the Company’s statement of loss and comprehensive loss. As at October 31, 2019, if the volatility, or discount rate used was increased by 10%, the impact would be an increase to the derivative of $5,000, with a corresponding increase to loss.

 

14.3Convertible debentures issued during the year ended October 31, 2018

 

During the year ended October 31, 2018, GR Unlimited issued a series of secured convertible debentures with aggregate principal of CAD$1,500,000 ($1,141,060). This series of convertible debentures bear interest at 2% quarterly payable on the last day of March, June, September, and December. The convertible debentures mature twenty-four months from the effective date of the agreement or December 1, 2018 if a change in ownership has not occurred. The debentures are secured by a general security agreement granting a security interest in all of GR Unlimited’s property and assets. The debentures can be converted by the holder into common units of GR Unlimited at a conversion price of CAD$0.44 per Unit. In the event of a default, the Conversion Price shall be reduced to CAD$0.05 per Unit. In connection with the issuance of the convertible debentures, GR Unlimited incurred issuance costs of $111,746.

 

GR Unlimited allocated the proceeds from the issuance of the convertible debentures as follows:

 

 Convertible debentures, principal  $1,009,060 
 Conversion option   132,000 
   $1,141,060 

 

The value of the conversion option was calculated by subtracting the net present value of the debenture from the face value of the convertible debentures. The net present value of the debenture was calculated using a discount rate of 15% over a period of 24 months.

 

Upon close of the Transaction, these debentures were replaced by convertible debentures of the Company with similar terms.

 

As at October 31, 2019, the Company estimated the fair value of the derivative liability by way of a Monte Carlo simulation which utilized Geometric Brownian Motion to simulate share prices over the term of the convertible debenture. Estimates included in the Monte Carlo simulation included a market interest rate of 20% and share price volatility of 105.4%. As at October 31, 2019, the estimated fair value of the derivative liability was CAD$164,053 ($124,660). As at October 31, 2019, if the volatility, or discount rate used was increased by 10%, the impact would be an increase to the derivative of $5,000, with a corresponding increase to loss.

24. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

24.1Market Risk (including interest rate risk and currency risk)

 

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market prices. Market risk reflects interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risks.

 

24.1.1Interest Rate Risk

 

At October 31, 2020 and October 31, 2019, the Company's exposure to interest rate risk relates to long-term debt, convertible promissory notes, and finance lease obligations, but its interest rate risk is limited as the aforementioned financial instruments are fixed interest rate instruments.

 

24.1.2Currency Risk

 

As at October 31, 2020, the Company had accounts payable and accrued liabilities of CAD$504,314 and convertible debentures of CAD$2,850,000. The Company is exposed to the risk of fluctuation in the rate of exchange between the Canadian Dollar and the United States Dollar.

 

24.2Credit Risk

 

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a loss for the other party by failing to pay for its obligation.

 

Credit risk to the Company is derived from cash and trade accounts receivable. The Company places its cash in deposit with United States financial institutions. The Company has established a policy to mitigate the risk of loss related to granting customer credit by primarily selling on a cash-on-delivery basis.

 

The carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, and other receivables represents the Company's maximum exposure to credit risk; the balances of these accounts are summarized in the following table:

 

Balance at  October 31, 2020   October 31, 2019 
Cash  $217,788   $74,926 
Accounts receivable   172,121    134,423 
Total  $389,909   $209,349 

 

The allowance for doubtful accounts at October 31, 2020 is 7,425 (October 31, 2019 - $129,131).

24.3Liquidity Risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will have difficulties in paying its financial liabilities.

24.4Fair Values

 

The carrying amounts for the Company’s cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, amounts due to employee/director, promissory notes and convertible promissory notes approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these items.

 

24.5Fair Value Hierarchy

 

A number of the Company's accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair valued for both financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities. The Company has an established framework, which includes team members who have overall responsibility for overseeing all significant fair value measurements, including Level 3 fair values. When measuring the fair value of an asset or liability, the Company uses observable market data as far as possible. The Company regularly assesses significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. Fair values are categorized into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:

 

Level 1: unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; or

 

Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

 

The carrying values of the financial instruments at October 31, 2020 are summarized in the following table:

 

   Level in fair value
hierarchy
  Amortized Cost   FVTPL   Total 
Financial Assets

26.2Deferred taxes

 

The temporary differences that give rise to deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are presented below:

 

Deferred Tax Assets as at October 31,  2020   2019 
Start up costs  $196,978   $299,259 
Inventory   124,590    24,349 
Biological asset fair value adjustment        
Net operating loss carry-forwards   1,369,512    2,307,529 
Share issuance costs       10,226 
IFRS Adjustments   28,254     
Amortization/Accretion expenses   351,345     
Transaction costs   919,825    331,164 
Technology impairment   429,122     
Debt restructure   125,953     
Various derivative and unrealized gain/los   73,350     
Allowance for doubtful accounts          
   $3,618,929   $2,972,527 
Deferred taxes not recognized   (3,618,929)   (2,972,527)
           
Net deferred tax assets  $   $ 

 

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Deferred income tax liabilities result primarily from amounts not deductible for accounting purposes until future periods. Deferred income tax assets result primarily from operating tax loss carry forwards and transaction costs related to general and administrative expenses and share compensation, and have been offset against deferred income tax liabilities.

 

As the Company operates in the cannabis industry, it is subject to the limits of United States Internal Revenue Code Section 280E under which the Company is only allowed to deduct expenses directly related to sales of product. This results in permanent differences between ordinary and necessary business expenses deemed non-allowable under United States Internal Revenue Code Section 280E.

 

Federal and Oregon tax laws impose restrictions on net operating loss carryforwards in the event of a change in ownership of the Company, as defined by the United States Internal Revenue Code Section 382. The Company does not believe that a change in ownership, as defined by United States Internal Revenue Code Section 382, has occurred but a formal study has not been completed.
